Thanks for Visiting Us at Chamberfest

Streamwood Chamber of Commerce

ChamberFest 2012

It was a beautiful day here in Streamwood, IL for our annual ChamberFest event.  The temperature was in the 70's with a gentle breeze ... OK, sometimes it was quite windy.   There were puffy white clouds in the sky, making it a gorgeous early fall day.

My day started early as we had the chairs for all the vendors in our mini-van. We setup the event  with assistance from my Executive Assistant, some other Chamber Board members, friends, and their family members.    Our theme for this year's event was "Bringing Business and Community Together".  The event lived up to that theme.

Besides having several local businesses in our expo, we were conducting our monthly car show with prizes to be awarded based on votes from all the visitors throughout the event.

The police and fire department had vehicles there for the children to explore - complete with junior fire helmets for the kids.   A bouncy house, complete with slide seemed to be the big hit for the children.

On behalf of the Streamwood Chamber of Commerce, I'd like to thank our sponsors, The Chicago Loop Sports Bar & Grill, Dr. Christopher L. Schneider, D.M.D, and the Schaumburg Staples Copy & Print for helping make this a successful event.

I can't thank the SCC Chamber staff and Board Members enough for helping me with the planning and running of this year's ChamberFest.  Of course I'd also like to thank my husband for helping with the event and with my booth as I did "double duty" with my booth and helping to run the event as Chamber President.

National Cruise Vacation Month October 2010

October is National Cruise Vacation Month

WORLD'S LARGEST CRUISE NIGHT OCTOBER 13, 2010

Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) is North America's largest cruise industry organization. CLIA represents the interests of 25 member lines and participates in the regulatory and policy development process while supporting measures that foster a safe, secure and healthy cruise ship environment. CLIA is also engaged in travel agent training, research and marketing communications to promote the value and desirability of cruise vacations and counts as members 16,000 travel agencies.

CLIA’s sixth annual World's Largest Cruise Night (WLCN), a one-day travel agency initiative, is set for October 13th. WLCN is the largest promotion of the year for the cruise industry.

Last year, World’s Largest Cruise Night (WLCN) generated an expected $45 million in cruise sales and nearly $6 million in new commissions for travel agents. Judging by the preparations and announced plans underway, both agents and CLIA member cruise lines are gearing up for an even bigger WLCN 2010.

All Month Long Virtual Event

Once again we will be participating with the “Virtual WLCN” option which extends throughout the month of October and, this year, will feature video of as many as seven cruises lines on our individualized agency WLCN microsite.

WLCN Azamara Cruises

Worlds Largest Cruise Night

Azamara Cruises

AZAMARA CRUISES was introduced to the US market in 2007 by Royal Caribbean International & Celebrity Cruises as a separate "Deluxe" brand of cruising. The Azamara brand is different from Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruise sister companies in many ways. This "Deluxe" niche designation puts the cruise experience above the "Premium" niche where Celebrity is and puts this brand in competition with Oceania and Crystal. The Azamara Cruise experience is focused upon the destination, rather than the vessel, and clients find that the brand offers a shipboard experience where attentive personal service is offered in a country club casual atmosphere.

The Azamara fleet consists of 2 very popular former Renaissance Cruise Line Vessels. These modern mid-size ships host 698 guests, offer a wide variety of dining options and have been radically refurbished to have their own distinct upscale look. Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest cruise in Europe, South America and the Caribbean. Azamara voyages tend to be longer in length and the itineraries often include overnight stays in popular ports of call.

Azamara Cruises Offers for WLCN 2009

$300 OBC per stateroom for Verandas only on select 2010 Europe sailings
